The way we experience life is shaped not only by what happens around us, but by the consciousness through which we see it.
In Episode 93 of The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra sits down with BK Ritu Thakkar, Spiritual Author, for a deep conversation on spirituality, consciousness, self-awareness, ego, triggers, surrender and the patterns that shape our experiences.
From understanding consciousness as a combination of our thoughts, feelings, perceptions, judgments and beliefs to exploring why a 10-second interaction can stay in our minds for hours, Ritu reflects on how our inner patterns influence the way we respond to people and situations. She also explores the difference between role consciousness and soul consciousness, why spirituality can sometimes make life more complicated, and what difficult situations can teach us about ourselves.
The conversation then moves into deeper questions around surrender, attachment and spiritual growth — why surrender is not simply letting things happen, but doing what needs to be done while releasing attachment to the results.
At its heart, this episode is an exploration of how becoming aware of our consciousness, triggers and patterns can change the way we experience ourselves, others and life.
